Every few months a news story: “Google workers in revolt over XYZ”. Then nothing changes. Not really a worker’s revolt then.

When a normal person talks about a topic, they don’t have to continuously clarify that they still talk about the same topic, it’s assumed.

It’s a new statement in a new paragraph.

Oh, now we interpret according to the intent of the author?

Accept that you misunderstood and move on.

The guy said he bought games, and those don’t work as well natively.

No, he didn’t say “those”. He made a statement about commercial Linux games in general (edit: in a separate paragraph).

if he didn’t buy them it won’t change his experience.

Shouldn’t make a generalized statement like that then.

Yeah, fuck those Linux users! Only sell those games to Windows users!

No idea how you get to that from my statement that’s advocating to make unmaintained games free. 🤷

This article gives instructions how to replace your Firefox SNAP package with a DEB package instead. Isn’t that what people want?

Not in a gaming community because your post isn’t gaming content.

Proton is the gateway drug to us getting more Linux native games.

It’s not when Win32 apologists keep making insane claims how stable Proton is… “Proton is great, it just runs all the Windows games” is the mess that got us to the place where games we buy just start crashing suddenly because nobody of those developers realizes that each major release of Proton must be treated like its own OS with proper QA targeting that. Proton works great for old games because these old games no longer change. For modern games that still get updates Proton is a gamble because a reverse engineered version of the Windows API just isn’t stable.

Linux is a total pain in the behind to write applications for, because of API and ABI instability.

Flatpak

Not a single commercial game runs as well natively as it does through Proton.

It’s funny when people like you make such statements because someone needs to literally name just a one commercial game and you’re already being proven a liar. OK, I start: Selaco.

But the sad reality is that it costs money to maintain software.

So what? They should stop taking money for unmaintained games then.

Win32 has somehow become the most stable Linux API.

Windows is a moving target. Wine/Proton is a reverse engineering chase of a moving target. WINDOWS GAMES ON PROTON BREAK ALL THE TIME! Stop making stuff. It’s great that Proton exists but it’s not like Java. What does not break? Flatpak Runtimes and Steam Linux Runtime.

Installing Firefox is a game?

I know that I can (I did with another one) but that’s not what being a paying customer is about.

Now imagine that you were only going 1 mph over the speed limit. Now if you got a ticket you would be angry because it was such bullshit. I think carrying out a seizure over

Your analogy would be so great if that slightly too fast driver wasn’t a drug smuggler.

The God of War one is the boot video with the most obnoxious sound I’ve ever encountered. Too bad Valve still didn’t care to add a mute option for boot videos.

Um, dupe: https://lemmy.world/post/20550123

Btw, you linked to the lemm.ee post instead of https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/10/05/xi-and-mao-replace-jesus-and-mary-in-chinese-churches/ directly. You can edit your post and change the URL.

thanks, I didn’t run into a paywall on the article but good to have backups.

That’s funny. The first time I opened the link I got a cutoff version of the article and it told me to make an account (which I then tried to remove with an ad blocker and the thing was called a paywal internally but the article stayed cut off), Now the second time, the message is gone.

So yeah, that may be just a random message shown on occasion.

This thread transformed from being about a serious issue on the fediverse into a pile of accusations on a personal level. I don’t see this thread becoming any more civilized the way the comments are spiraling downwards. I’m keeping the post up because, as I said, this is a serious issue, but I don’t think keeping the thread unlocked is doing any good.

Missiles?

Don’t remember them in Cars 2 (it’s been too long) but the Aramco facility attack I remember.
